TUESDAY. JANUARY 10, 1961 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNEqMEDFORD. ORE. Goalby Wins Los Angeles Qpe Los Angeles - (UPI) - Bub Goalby, once a reserve quart erback but now a first string golfer, today had "lots o luck," a new putter and Arn old Palmer to thank for his biggest win yet - $7,500 ton prize In the $-15,000 Los An geles Open. He captured the big loot Monday in a stirring head-to-head stretch drive with crowd favorite Paul Harney - the leader at the halfway mark and going into the final 18. Goalby broke the slender, graying, Worchester, Mass., pro with a sensational birdie on the 12th. From there on in, he played it cool and careful to make it a waltz, increasing his winning margin to three strokes. He listed his three charms thusly: Must Putt Well -"You've got to have more than a little luck to win. I had mine." -"You never win anything unless you putt well. I used a new putter for my last two tournaments and won them both." -"When Arnold Palmer shot his 12 the U.S. Open Cham pion had a 12 on the final hole of his first round which helped lead to his early elim inalion, he helped, a lot of us younger pros." Goalby, who plans to play in the San Diego Open this coming weekend "and just about every tournament I'm eligible for this yea r," wrapped the tournament on the par-three, 229-yard 12. He belled a tee shot 25 feet short of the hole. Then with a bold putt, he rammed it home -the ball hit the lip of the cup, bounced a foot high in the air and dropped squarely in. Nursed Stiff Neck Harney, who has been nurs ing a stiff neck throughout the tournament had his down fall on the same hole. He started the day one stroke ahead of the pack and had predicted it would take a "08 on my part to win." He made the turn at the front nine all . even with Goalby. But he missed the green with his tee shot on the 12th, chipped up short, and missed a 20-foot putt to fall two strokes off the pace. This shook him so much he later picker! up an- t other b'yey and finished in a tic for lourlh. In second at the finish were Eric Brown, Glasgow, Scot land, and Art Wall Jr., Pocono Manor, Pa., to take $3,325 At 279 with Harney were Billy Casper, Apple Valley. Calif., and Ken Venturi of Hillsborough, Calif. Each of the three, picked up $2,133 I " t . V , , ' h ' ' a M 1 AX I W-". f r - '. U ' ,fti p I - ft' . I 7 ' i 'I t ' tt .

The winner of the Los Angeles Open went into painful reac tion as he missed a 10-foot putt on the 13ih hole in the final day's play. Goalby won the $7,500 first prize with a 72-hnle total of 275.

Phone SP 3-7404 Sdiinredt Signs' VVitSi Canadians Wailuku, Maui, llawaii-dll'll Quarterback Bob Schlorcdt, one - eyed quarterback who guided the Washington Hus kies to two conscculivc Rose Bowl victories, will play next season with the British Co lumbia Lions of the Canadian Football league. Tine signing was announced Monday by Schlorcdt here and by the Vancouver club. The Husky signal caller is resting here after playing with the West all-stars in Sun day's Hula bowl in Honolulu. Schlorcdt was passed up completely in the NFL draft and was taken on the 27th round by Dallas of the Amer ican league. He said he was passing up the opportunity of playing in the American pro leagues be cause he feels he is more adapted for the Canadian style of play. Likes to Run ' "I like to run and throw the roll-out pass," he said. "In the NFL and AFL, the quar terback doesn't do much run ning and when he does pass, ho goes straight back with no roll-outs." Schlorqrit did not disclose contract terms but said that he signed for a sizable bonus and salary as well as a chance for business opportunity. "I think 1 got a pretty good deal," he said. Schlorcdt dominated the past two Hose Bowls which saw the Pacific Coasl gain re venge on the Big Ten as Washington whipped Wiscon sin, 44-8, and Minnesota, 17 7. He was named outstanding performer in both games. He was considered a likely All - American candidate this season before a midseason in jury sidelined him until the Pasadena classic. Schlorcdt revealed that two other sought-after Husky leanimatcs, end Pat Claridge and guard Bill Kinnune. also would probably sign with the Vancouver team. Claridge is a Canndian. ELLIOTT TO COACH .

Sun Los Angeles illl'll -Handsome Jack Fleck, sometimes called Iho "cheese chnmpion" after he won the U.S. Open Golf tournament at San Francisco in 1955, should go down as the comeback king of 19(H). The dark-eyed shotmaker is the most affable and happiest golfer on the tour these days bubbling over with good things In life without a trace of rancor for some of the things said about him ader he won the Open. But it wasn't always so. After Fleck beat the great Ben llogan ln a memorable playoff for the crown he more or less returned to the pri vacy of his club job in Iowa. The few tournaments he en-i tend, he fared badly. Thai's when they started calling him the "cheese chain-, pion." "But 1 never felt anything like that about winning the title," says Fleck. "Actually 1 made as much money as just about anyone has in win-1 ning the National Open. In fact. I made a lot more than many because when I won Ihei title. I wasn't tied tip with anyone. p, Bargaining Position , f.' "The day after the victory, If. all the big sponsors were H-1 fc. ling on my doorstep and I t' was In a fine bargaining poM- f lion." - There's no olticiai figure I on just how much money the champion makes for winning fc' the Open. 'Hie general opinion , P Is tltal it's worth from S40.-T 000 to $100,000. The guess is f that Fleck made well over -' $50,000. than as a club pro," he says. "My wife urged me lo give it a whirl. She said 1 had too much invested In my game not lo give it a full try. I've heard older club pros com plaining thai they wish they had given the tour a full try out when they were young er." So Jack hit (he trail with Iho follow-tlte-sun boys. He played in 33 tournaments and --pleasant surprise won more than $28,000 in official and unofficial events. He was the 18th leading money winner of (he year. And it's probably thai, like must other pros, he picked up an additional S3, 000 to $10, (100 in endorsements, exhibi tions and other personal ap pearances. "I should have done even better," he says. "I should have won at least five tour naments instead of one. 1 might have won Iho Open but I dropped six strokes in the last five holes, "It was a fine year. And l plan to slay on the tour a long while especially if I feel as healthy as 1 do now and my game stays strong." And t h e y call this a "cheese champion'.'"
